The last group headed west into what is now France, Spain and Portugal.Linguistically, one characteristic of the last group is their retention of a 'kw' sound from the original Indo-European language.In very basic terms it seems to mean 'to prevail, be strong', as seen in languages ranging from Old Norse and Old High German to Latin and Latvian.Most individual Celtic and Germanic tribal names were made up of a core word, plus two suffixes, one indigenous and one Latin.He also echoes Hubert's views that the survival to this day of so many Celtic names for important geographical features (such as the rivers Rhine and Danube) in what are now German-speaking regions points to the names being of indigenous form and of long usage.Central Europe's Bronze Age (2500-900 BC), which peaks around 1700 BC, marks the approximate beginning of the Unetice culture (which emerges out of the Beaker Folk group).Then Bell Beaker decorated cup styles, domestic pot types, and grave and dagger types from the middle Danube are adopted around 2600 BC in Moravia and southern Germany, possibly as a result of trade rather than immediate migration.

Other major sources listed in the 'Barbarian Europe' section of the Sources page.) Up until around 2800 BC, groups of Indo-Europeans first begin migrate into Greece, blending in with the indigenous populations to later form Mycenaean, Minoan, Cypriot and Italian culture.

As time passed these groups began to drift apart, each group speaking the tongue a little differently.

Along what was probably the southern and western edge of these tribes, each group began to expand further south and west.

The story of the Celts is one that links back to the earliest appearance of Indo-Europeans in Europe.

In very basic terms, Europe of the second millennium BC provided a home for a group of recently-arrived Indo-European people who all spoke the same language.
